Sandwich-Board Stunt at Book-Expo America Drew Many Accolades but Also Disdain

While my goofy sandwich-board publicity stunt at Book Expo America drew lots of laughter and chuckles over the weekend, it has since drawn the disdain of one publishing insider.
Did you think my sandwich board gimmick at BEA was creative or funny?
Or do you agree with this assessment from Lynn Price, editorial director of Behler Publications?
Please also read the reply to her post, which is at her blog. (By the way, I did not add the darn smiley face — it’s supposed to be a # 8!)
Should I be more timid in getting the word out about my next book, The Weight-Loss Habits of Highly Successful Losers or should I continue to try to build a buzz in whatever creative manner I deem fit?
What do you think?

Lakers’ Lamar Odom: Is His Candy Habit Triggering His Uneven Performance on the Basketball Court?

Why does the Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom have an uneven performance on the basketball court such as this flagrant foul?
In a blog post, entitled “The Lakers’ Lamar Odom, Sweet Tooth and Erratic Play,” Dr. Daniel Amen, a Lakers fan since a child, presents a compelling theory — the basketball player’s compulsive candy habit is to blame.
After interviewing hundreds of experts for my book SUGAR SHOCK! and suffering my own horrific, sugar-induced nightmare, the physician’s concept makes perfect sense.
Dr. Amen, author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Life and Magnificent Mind at Any Age, writes that Odom “is unbelievably talented, but often acts like a space cadet during games.
“He can play great, and be worth his 14 million-dollar salary, or he can act like he is `missing in action.'”
Indeed, acting like a space cadet or have brain fog is clearly a manifestation of low blood sugar, which can be triggered by eating too many sweets.
Kudos to Dr. Amen for pointing out that “Odom’s massive consumption of candy leads to a sugar high and then a crash, evidence of which can be seen on the basketball court.”
